Great questions.

There is actually a secretive business model. Once you think about it - there's no need to harvest data, or bill consumers once we have market share. Unless the incumbents make life difficult - there's no reason why this service should not be possible.

Well, I'll be much more likely to try it if:

- The app page clearly says "Free forever," ideally in some kind of legally-binding language

- The app page clearly says "No ads, no data harvesting, ..."

... and so on.

I think consumers have been baited-and-switched a few too many times at this point. If I'm not paying, I'm either your product, or I'm going to be up-sold later.
